Bond sale plan would redirect Montana school funds
Montana lawmakers propose bills to raise loan limits on farm lands to 60 percent and allow the state to use school funds as second mortgages. The plan would require selling state bonds and mortgages now on hand, with proceeds reinvested. The securities total about 9.15 million dollars, yielding roughly 500 thousand dollars annually for school, penal, and charitable funds, aiding farmers in drought areas.
